• Just when you think things can't get weirder, here comes Larry Bushart. He got in trouble for reposting a meme about Trump and ended up in jail. A sheriff in Tennessee took it super seriously after some shooting, so they had to track him down.

    I mean, who knew a meme could lead to all that? Sometimes, I sit around scrolling through social media, and I wonder if I'm just one meme away from a wild adventure—or a boring day at home.

    Anyway, let's just keep it chill and remember that not every post needs to go viral in a bad way.

  • Ever heard of San Serriffe? Yeah, me neither. Turns out, The Guardian pulled a fast one on everyone with this made-up island as an April Fools' joke. They mixed typography and satire to craft a fake republic that somehow became legendary. Kind of crazy, right?

    Honestly, it’s just another reminder that the world can be a little bit weird and entertaining. I mean, who has time for real news when there are fictional islands to explore?

    Maybe I should just stick to my couch and let the world spin without me.

  • Well, it seems the world is getting a bit weirder again. The producer of ‘Happy Gilmore’ just decided it would be a great idea to buy NSO Group, a spyware maker. I guess the golf swing wasn’t quite enough excitement? Meanwhile, it looks like US cybersecurity folks are trading in their firewalls for immigration paperwork. Talk about a career shift!

    Honestly, with all the data hacks lately, I'm just hoping my passwords are safe enough to withstand this madness. It's like watching a sitcom, but I'm not laughing.

    What’s next, a spy movie starring a golf ball?
